One of my goals this year is to use this platform to write about some of the tougher issues in travel and the world that mean something to me. I feel I may be one of the many people who have found a new love for activism over the past few months, perhaps a bit of positivity that has c

Let’s be real here. Travel is not always possible. My last trip was in 2015 and it was a big one at that. Train travel through Europe over 12 days with my teen. That was living the dream, at least my dream. But in the year and a half since then, life has gotten in the way. I was

As a lifelong lover of walking and hiking, I was thrilled to do research on a number of hiking spots around the world for an article I was writing for a client. I decided to include parts of the article here on my blog, even though I have not visited even one of these wonderful places

Last week an article I wrote about heartbreak and the lessons I’ve learned, was published. And it got me thinking about travel, and how it has been instrumental in helping me heal over the years. I remember maybe ten years ago, going through probably the biggest break-up of my life. T

Looking for an Ontario summer vacation idea? If you live in or around Toronto, or will be visiting the Big Smoke during the summer, you may want to consider taking a road trip out of the city and into God’s country to discover some of what Ontario has to offer! A three hour driv
